Karyn Kuhl first received national acclaim for her early bands Gut Bank and Sexpod, growing out of the vibrant Hoboken music scene and the legendary club Maxwell's. (“Gut Bank’s The Dark Ages is one exceptional debut album.” — Robert Palmer, New York Times). Over the past 20 years she has released 10 LP’s,EP’s and singles and performs both as a solo act and leading the Karyn Kuhl Band. Currently at work on a new album, Kuhl released two songs on Dromedary Records No Traces/The Tower in April 2024 ( “Here we find her delivering a strong pair of songs that make one hopeful for an LP. The a-side is a solid confessional rocker while the flip is a darker cinematic trip. Grab this!”- The Big Takeover) The 3rd single Cat Swamp Road is out now on all streaming platforms & available for download on karynkuhl.bandcamp.com.( “ We know Karyn Kuhl can howl with the best of them. How divine that she can also create such a powerful experience with a song that barely rises above a whisper.”-The Constant Listener/ jimtestanjsubstack.com) ( “Kuhl’s elegant and hypnotic voice and colorful melodies make her solemn and evocative songs about heartbreak and alienation linger after each listen.”- Cindy Stagoff njarts.net)
